That's not junk, that's primo riding material.

Now I am a little confused, Far as I know I thought the sprocket was switched on mine but now I dont know , Mine is a 36 according to the numbers[img]http://i248.photobucket.com/albums/gg195/holyrollin72/S7301870.jpg[/img]

im not too rehearsed in Elgins so there may be alot of wrong parts on this bike. I did find a site with one close (and probably more correct)and even that guy questions if the bike was a hawthorne instead ?!? If i do anything with this one im sure it wont be a spot on restoration anyway.

[CCR]

I'm really starting to like crusty!

Cleaned the chain guard, steel wooled everything and added some clear spray.

Even I would be tickled pink to come across a crusty old bike like that. around here anything with fat ballooners is very hard to find because they whernt really made here. this be thin tire land.

Hey, if you don't want that crusty pile of junk I'll come over and haul it away for you

Jeremy, yours is a Monark built Elgin! Road Master's is too, but looks like a different badge. I think the chainring on Gold Street's is a replacement. ~Adam

Yes, mine is a Monark built Spiegel Airman - that's why the funny badge. I have another one from the 50s with the single spring springer fork.
